On Friday, I spent several hours in thrift stores scouting out pretty things for my booth at Old Bank Antiques. I did return to the store that I rushed through because of my clock being off. I had plenty of time to sift through everything this time and I found several pretties.
I also ordered some bottle brush trees and did a mini make over on them. I will be using them here for Christmas.
I love this old bowl
Ya’ll know how I feel about crazing and crackling on china

I’m not sure if I will add baubles and beads or just leave them plain.

Rhonda I am so in love with that bowl!! I am curious how you got your trees from green to that beautiful pink or peach?
ReplyDeleteYour trees look great, Rhonda! They look almost tea stained in the photo.

Glad to hear you made it back to that store, I adore the beautiful vintage milk glass, lovely shape.
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm your newest follower. So nice to meet you! Love the milk glass and the bleached and distressed bottle brush trees. They look beautiful just as they are! Happy Thanksgiving. Off to look around a bit.

Hello
ReplyDeleteNice job on the trees! They look great... and the bowl is very sweet.
Many blessings to you this Thanksgiving Day!

I would have picked up the very same things if I had been there. I love old silver, old dishes and milk glass. I've never seen bottle brush trees, yet.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
Great idea!! Some small and delicate would look great as an ornament on them, but then again they look great plain!
